Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services in an organization. And it is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing and scaling containerized applications. Furthermore, it orchestrates containerized applications and services to run on a cluster of hosts. And it is automates the deployment and management of cloud native applications using on-premises infrastructure or public cloud platforms. In addition, it distributes applications and services workloads across a Kubernetes cluster and automates dynamic container networking needs.
Kubernetes allocates storage and persistent volumes to running containers, provides automatic scaling, and works continuously to maintain the desired state of applications and thereby providing resilience. And it is an open-source system to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications and systems anywhere. Furthermore, it is an open-source platform used to manage Linux Containers across private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud environments.
